DIRECTING & WRITINGI've had the pleasure of directing critically-acclaimed productions, including ambitious independent films, adventurous web series and provocative stage plays. I am founding artistic director of Weird City Theatre Company in Austin, Texas and have worked with actors all over the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany.
I'm a published playwright, my screenplays have been produced as feature-length films, web series and shorts. I've written several articles on everything from the history of Eighteenth Century theatre to collecting toys from the 1970s and '80s. I've contributed to Dark Horse Comics and to the several blogs and websites including The Macabre Tourist and He-Man.org.
